Christ's Vision of Jerusalem
Luke 9-51
By the REV. D. P. LONGSDORF
Every contemplation of the last
months, and weeks, and days in the
life of our Lord fills the soul with
i sense of solemn and almost over-whelming
awe. He stands out, aw-ful
in His loneliness, magnificent in
Bis heroism, supreme in His reve-lation
of the highest possible in
human life, and of the greatest i i
God.
This determined setting of His
face to Jerusalem is worthy of our

The Answer Is YES I
A little over a year ago a
great many people were ask-ing
us "What's new about a
theatre?", "Do you think we
will ever have a moving pic-ture
place here ?", and many
similar questions. For in Jan-uary,
1934, THE RECORD
started a discussion that brou-ght
forth an avalanche of ap-proving
letters and comment,
some of which were published
from week to week.
Today you read in the next
column that the new and mod-ern
theatre that has been
hoped for so long will be open
in just a week from tonight.
While there is much being
said against motion pictures,
we felt last year and still feel
that a theatre here would fill
a long-felt need. We are glad
that we could do something to
foster the movement for one
and we extend our hearty con-
. gratulations to Mr. Harry
Rev. and Mrs. Joseph Boll and Chertcoff for the magnificient
daughter, Ella, Mr. and Mrs. Nor- t h e a t r e , h e h a s g i v e n Utitz, the

Annexing of Warwick In 1915
Made New School Necessary
By PAUL R.
When Lititz was incorporated as
a borough April 24,, 1888, that
portion of the town lying north of
the Reading Railroad tracks was
considered a part of Warwick
Township, and was therefore not
included in 'the Lititz Borough
school district.
For many years the two sections
of the town operated as separate
units. When Warwick, that portion
of the toiw,n north of the Railroad,
began to grow and become an in-tegral
part of Lititz, it was an-nefed
to the Lititz Schooil District.
On August 19, 1915, a settlement,
was arranged between the Lititz
FURLOW
and Warwick School boards for the
acquisition of the two Warwick
school buildings on Market Street.
On December 6, 1915, the board
of the Lititz district passed a mo-tion
to erect a new school building.
Plans were immediately made for
the • hiring of an architect and 11
attorney, and the building of the
present sehoolhouse was put under
way.
Members of the board at that,
time were Elmer Eby, president;
H. R. Giibbel vice president; H. C.
Seldomridge, treasurer; E. E.
Habecker, secretary, and J. B.
Fasnacht.
The new Lititz Community
Theatre will open tonight a week,
Thursday, March 21st.
The first real theatre that Lititz
has ever had will be opened offi-cially
at 7:30 o'clock and every-one
in town and country is invited
to be there, inspect the building
and hear and see the opening pro-gram.
The dooris will be open to
the public all evening without
charge.
Although there is much work
remaining to be done to the thea -
tre, all contractors have assured
Harry Chertcoff, the owner, that
everything will be in readiness
before the opening night.
Not all of the murals have yet
been completed. None of the 850
seats are in place today, but by
next Thursday they will be waiting
to receive the visitors for the ini-tial
program.
Complete details of the first
night program have not been fully
settled by Mr. Chertcoff and Mi-.
Utter, the manager, but with the
inspection of the building there
will be the showing of several in-teresting
films which will give the
people an idea of the production:
and sound equipment. Also in-cluded
in the program will be
speeches by several locally prom-inent
people and musical selections.
The first feature will be "The
Lives of a Bengal Lancer," to be
shown Friday and Saturday. This
will be followed Monday and Tues-day
by "Anne of Green Gables,"
on Wednesday by "Behold My
